The tile production increases in the second half of the sixteenth century and during the following centuries. The fragments discovered from various localities (pot-tiles, rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal panels, open-work crest tiles) were all produced in regional workshops, from the end of the 15th century or at the beginning of the 16th century. They all had diverse decorative motifs, mainly animals and geometrical or vegetal combinations, almost all of them singular finds for this study area. -

Executed in the style of Giambologna (Giovanni da Bologna, 1529-1608), the famed Florentine sculptor whose work was favoured by the Medici family. It is similar to another bronze in the Detroit Institute of Art, where it is ascribed to Antonio Susini, a student of Giambologna.
